Title: Pending EHT transaction
Post by: claudio2 on December 16, 2017, 04:14:54 AM
I have a pending ETH transaction more than 24 hours ago (Tx 0x7625aa61a74585f3c527ee3b89b5b3ffb12e0b37ba9f40547e8a42825771e094).

Someone can help me with this?

Your translation:
You paid 210.000 gas -> it is good, but Gwei = 1 is too low, so translation will be slow! Let try minimum 5 or 10 Gwei
Nonce = 12 -> it is too low. You can wait for hour or more.

Thank you for the clarifications. I always increased only gas limit cause I thought it was responsible for speeds up the transactions.

Today I cannot find my transaction any more in ethereum blockchain. Could it have been canceled?

Transactions can't be "cancelled" unless a transaction that invalidates it goes on the chain.   However, as the number of unconfirmed transactions grows they will eventually fill the assigned memory on the mining computers, so they'll look to evict some transactions starting with the least lucrative (ie yours).  That's probably what happened to yours.   You could just retransmit it though (or anybody could, if they still had it ) assuming it wasn't now invalid. 

The above advice was correct (the problem was with the gas price) but incorrect about the nonce (the nonce has nothing to do with this, it's just a transaction counter to prevent replay attacks). 

You could try 1.5 or 2 gwei if you want to be very cheap, but expect it to take a long time to confirm.  The weekend would have been a good time to do it actually.

75 gwei si too much. I have easily made today two transaction (both with 4 gwei). Not more than 5 minutes. I alwasy look at https://ethgasstation.info . If you want to be sure with transaction then add some gwei. But it is ok when you will follow gas price from this site.

The same situation i faced on EtherDelta and at the end transaction failed it was on 4Gwei. To over come this I increased Gwei to 8 and transaction passed within 5 minutes. The transaction fee also increased minutely with 8Gwei.

Thanks again and sorry for me being a noob, but I still have some doubts:

How can I add more gwei to my transaction?

And even if it's a simple process, how should I do it since my transaction does not appear anymore in ETH blockchain?

If you are sending from MEW (MyEtherWallet) look at the  image below. If not, write us from what wallet you are sending.

I'm sending from MEW. I increased Gwei to 10 but still could find my Tx.

Now is standard price for gas 33. Always look at ethgasstation and increase little. I do not know what was the standard price when your were sending.

I think that is just what happened with my transaction. I was reading this: https://myetherwallet.github.io/knowledge-base/transactions/check-status-of-ethereum-transaction.html and maybe my fisrt transaction was canceled when I did a second transaction (this second one was confirmed some days after).

The same thing happens with the bitcoin transaction. already more than 2 days the transaction is not confirmed. what can be done ? it remains only to wait.
Title: Re: Pending EHT transaction
Post by: gulek888 on January 09, 2018, 07:27:16 PM
so today it's been over a week since my transaction has hung up.

raise ur GAS so ur transaction will be on high prio.

Post by: MrSpasybo on January 14, 2018, 12:59:12 PM
A transaction can not be Cancelled, but it may be Failed if the waiting time is too long or Block height / Nonce is too low. In that case you will lose a small fee, the rest will be returned to your wallet after a short time.
Let's compare my transactions, and you will know everything is just random, and depends on whether CryptoKitties bite your transaction :)
